APPLICATIONS IN REVIEW STATUS

Reviewers are currently moving applications through the review process. The Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly approved $15 million of the CARES Act Relief Fund for grants to small businesses and nonprofits outside of city boundaries. Reviews will continue over the next two weeks, and the goal is to mail awards by mid-August. What should applicants do now? Be on the lookout for emails from reviewers. We may need more information. If so, follow the directions and provide the information before the deadline. Applicants will have limited time to respond.
